In a system, which is using a 110V generator, a charger, and an inverter which is supplying the 110V output:

If the system at any time is drawing more amperage from the battery than the generator/charger is supplying to it, the charge level of the battery will drop to compensate. Its output voltage will drop, likewise. A shortfall can carry on as long as the inverter can handle the voltage drop, but if it continues to drop eventually it will not be able to.

If the load reduces enough before that the battery will recharge at whatever rate of excess current is available through the charger.

There can be tip-over scenarios however where a sudden surge, doesn't work itself out (a motor starter circuit fails to get the motor up to speed). It isn't normal anticipated loads that are the problem for this kind of marginally sized system. It's the unanticipated ones.
